From Truth to Transformation: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa

This report draws on the proceedings of a conference organised by the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation in South Africa in April 1998. The purpose of the conference, 'From Truth to Transformation,' was to evaluate the work of the TRC and to consider future challenges, especially those confronting non-governmental organisations that would be working on reconciliation once the TRC had been wound up. The report looks at the TRC in the context of other truth and reconciliation processes in countries in political transition.
